Somewhere a fellow American is homeless, suffering from food insecurity and healthcare. We have a duty to each other as Americans to pull each other up and become the advocate for those struggling against the oppression of poverty. #BeKindAlways

In Chicago the council tried to impose a curfew like this and the progressive mayor vetoed it with a passionate speech about its racism.

#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of ā€œJuneā€ & ā€œ19thā€ — for over 150 years.

For those who say ā€œIllegal is illegal.ā€ On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. ā€œIllegal is illegalā€ has always been used to defend injustice. Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

About 30 people attended theĀ OurĀ HealthĀ Over Corporate Wealth Vigil outside Sen. Tillis's Hendersonville office June 17, including a skateboarderĀ and his friends. During a moment of silence, people named those they had lost healthcare or who might die if the Big Bill passes.

As we observe Juneteenth, DC and the country should (re)commit to repairing the harms of our past and its compounding negative effects in our current day. More from DCFPI Executive Director, Erica Williams, on how the struggle for Black freedom continues: loom.ly/jAAss2Q

Every year, our government spends billions on weapons and war, both domestically and abroad. Now, with Trump's authoritarian impulses escalating further, we cannot afford to ignore the threat militarism poses to our democracy. Christine Ahn Leslie Cagan otherwords.org/militarism-thr…

An absolutely essential story injecting some actual research and data into a debate that has been based on ~vibes~ for months now. White said Tuesday that he'll move some version of TOPA reform next month, before summer recess. But just look at quotes like these...

Erik Salmi It’s a shame how bad DCPR can be. I’ve submitted countless requests to fix a water fountain that’s been broken at Macomb Rec for years and they ripped out the only tree that provided shade for the playground

We must invest directly in the community for true public safety & prosperity. No more trickle down economics, which the District budget is currently full of

On June 19, 1865, nearly 2 years after Pres. Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, news of freedom arrived to more than 250,000 in TX. We continue fighting in their memory for racial equality & equity to this day! Today at National Juneteenth Festival
